Al Riggs, Paisley Fields, Empty Disco

Queer honky-tonk group Paisley Fields recently released its debut LP, titled Glitter and Sawdust. It’s a piano-heavy, earnest record that draw as much inspiration from swaggering ‘90s radio country as it does the mournful ballads of Gram Parsons (there’s even a well-placed cover of “Hot Burrito #1”). Al Riggs and Empty Disco also perform. —Jospehine McRobbie
